A bed-sheet is a square piece of fabric that is consists of an elastic band lining that fits directly over the mattress. Another type of bed-sheet includes stitched ends without a stretchy band. You can use both the fitted bed sheet and the straight and stitched type at the same time during hot nights.

Caring for Bed Sheets: Regular washing is vital. Depending on the material, most bed sheets should be washed in warm or cool water with a gentle detergent and either air-dried or tumble dried on a low setting. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, as they can break down fibers.
